NHL, a sports media outlet, was asked about the national team at a hospital venue by Kevin de Bruyne on the 12th (Korea time). I talked about my future with the national team, but he was silent,' he reported.
In response to this reaction, it was pointed out that De Bruyne is considering retirement due to disappointment with the Belgian national team.
Recently, he made remarks that targeted teammates of the national team.
Belgium lost 0-2 to France in the second leg of the 2024-2025 UEFA Nations League Group 2 away match at the Lyon Grupama Stadium in France on the 10th (Korea time).
France was not normal either. France suffered a come-from-behind loss to Italy 1-3.
As a result, France did not operate its full power on this day. To be precise, coach Didier Deschamps made a major change to the best 11 and called for mental awakening.
Only goalkeeper Mike Menyang (AC Milan), defensive midfielder N'Golo Kante (Altihad) and center back William Saliba (Arnall) were left, leaving out all the key points such as Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann.
In other words, France was not in normal power.
Recently, most of Belgium's golden generations have been stepping down. Belgium, which dominated world soccer in the 2010s, is rapidly moving away from the top of Europe.
The same was true of this tournament.
After the first half of the match against France, they had a fierce argument. De Bruyne spoke to his teammates in detail about what went wrong.
He didn't stop after the game. He lashed out at me, saying, `If you run with six people behind me, there's no connection at all.'
Speaking to Belgian broadcaster VTM after the game, he said 'It has to be better in every way. We have to give everything to get to the standard we reach. If you don't even do it, you're done.
